This Is Just The Type Of Person The Republicans Are Looking For!

Accused of domestic violence. ✓
Questions about whether he lied on his jury questionnaire. ✓
Ignores facts. ✓
 
CBS News reported that...
 CBS News legal analyst Caroline Polisi said the real issue here is whether the juror lied when filling out the juror questionnaire.
 
 "The test is whether he made purposeful misrepresentations during the jury selection process. If he did, that's a crime," she said, adding that "an arrest is not an automatic disqualification for serving on a jury." 

The juror court questionnaires are sealed as part of the official court record.

"It's unlikely we will find out whether the juror made misrepresentations unless there is an official court-sanctioned inquiry," Polisi said. 
If the juror did lie on the form, they could be charged with perjury or making false statements to the court.

But that is the backstory... what I want to write about is the offer Florida made to the juror.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Offers ‘Asylum’ to Holdout Juror in Lindsay Clancy Case
“If the juror is being harassed, Florida will provide asylum,” DeSantis wrote on social media

 NEED TO KNOW
  •     Governor Ron DeSantis criticized media coverage of the holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial and offered him “asylum” in Florida
  •     The juror reportedly has a history of domestic violence allegations and an active restraining order against him, according to a Sept. 11 report from NBC10 Boston
  •     Clancy’s trial ended in a mistrial after jurors tasked with determining criminal responsibility in the deaths of her three young children couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict
 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is offering “asylum” to the holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial after accusing media outlets of launching a smear campaign against him.

On Friday, Sept. 11, DeSantis, 47, shared a post on X in response to a recent report from NBC10 Boston that the juror has a history of alleged domestic violence and an active restraining order against him.

“A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected. Another low for legacy media,” the governor wrote. “If the juror is being harassed, Florida will provide asylum — I’m sure he’d be welcomed and appreciated.”
That is total BS! That is a total lie! The jury was hung. It was split 11 to 1 in favor of finding Clancy not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility (insanity) due to postpartum psychosis. She would have a hearing for involuntary commitment, and then, depending upon the outcome, she could have an initial hospital commitment that can last up to six months. After that, the facility can request successive one-year extensions.

To me, this isn't really about Lindsay Clancy. It's about the governor of Florida using a Massachusetts criminal case as a political weapon against a Democratic state. The New York Post reported that,
NBC10 Boston reported that the juror was accused of attacking his wife in September 2021 and that last year his nephew had taken out a restraining order against him. The man also faces a pending eviction case by his landlord for $12,000 of unpaid rent, the outlet reported.

Court records show that the juror divorced his wife after the alleged incident in 2021 and that the criminal charge against him was dismissed — although his ex-wife said she backed away from pursuing the case because she was worried that testifying could cause her to lose custody of her daughter, the outlet reported.
 
 Juror questionnaires in Massachusetts ask prospective jurors whether they have been arrested, charged with a crime, or been served with a court order — all which should have been answered affirmatively by the holdout juror, NBC10 reported.
That is the person he wants to give asylum to: a nice, fine, upstanding individual. But the real reason he wants to offer it is to take a political dig at a Democratic state. He doesn't care one iota about the case, just that he thinks he can get votes over this! He is playing to the MAGA crowd.

However, what is even more outrageous is what the Hindustan Times is reporting...
Lindsay Clancy holdout juror GiveSendGo raises whopping $110,700 as Ron DeSantis offers him ‘asylum’

 A GiveSendGo launched for a male holdout juror who reportedly led to a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case had raised $110,700 at the time of writing this article. The GiveSendGo, which aims to raise $150,000, describes how “one juror held his seat” when support poured in for Lindsay.

 “The country got the full TikTok-diagnostics package. Postpartum. Psychosis. Voices. Trauma. A stack of pill bottles and a sad playlist. The SSRI-medicated mob ran cover like this was a self-care story instead of a triple child killing. They wanted a diagnosis, not a verdict. They wanted her sick, not guilty. They wanted three dead kids memory-holed so nobody had to say the words mother and murderer in the same sentence,” the fundraiser says.
 The legal question was whether she was criminally responsible because of her mental state, and one juror disagreed with the other eleven. DeSantis chose to portray that juror as a heroic man standing up against people supposedly trying to excuse the killing of three children.
 
While the conservatives are making him out as some kind of male hero! They have turned the focus from perjury to sexism. OK Magazine wrote:

 Podcaster Joe Rogan slammed public advocates and social media users supporting Lindsay Clancy, pointing to a double standard between men and women.

Rogan argued that the public sympathy surrounding the case highlights a societal bias. He claimed, "This lady killed her kids, and everyone's like, 'Oh my God, she needed help.' Imagine if a single father killed his kids.”

He asserted that a father facing identical charges would never receive a "Free Lindsay"-style campaign or solidarity rallies.
Totally illogical!
He slammed the wave of people creating dedicated support groups and spreading online conspiracy theories to defend her actions. He described the phenomenon as proof that "people are out of their f------ minds right now.”

"If those ladies could see the crime scene and see those dead kids with their f------ vacant eyes staring up because their mother took their life, the last f------ thing that they saw was their mother standing over them, choking them to death, I don't think they would feel so bad,” he said.
This is what MAGA thinks now... toxic masculinity! And it is so easy to get them riled up. So the guy who lied on a jury form is now a hero!
